Yup they had a non-turbo supra i think they had 225hp correct me if I'm wrong guys. I bet you raced a NA Supra there no way we could beat a Twin Turbo Supra those things are beast...

Had to be a NA Sup. My friend's sup can run 13s in stock form. With his mods, he can do 11s with street tires.

Oh, there are single turbo ones...people swap their twin turbo with one BIG turbo.

 

Yep I'm one of them. So far the the most I've dynoed was 590rwhp. I should get about 700 rwhp with the mods I have once the car is tuned right but I live in so cal where honda is king and no one knows how to tune it. I bought the car new and stock. Back then it felt much stronger then my brother's CL-S or my TL. Once I drove around with my supra buddies in the TL, not too much slower then the CL. We fooled around on the freeway and on the roads. It wasn't even close. They left me standing still.
I never rode or drove a NA. To me they are a waste of time and money. There are kits to turbo charge NA's but they limit the power to 400hp tops due to the higher compression of a non-turbo engine. The CL-S and NA Supra should be about the same speed. Seeing you beat him by about 3 cars at speed makes me think you are the better driver. The fastest magazines put the NA is 0-60 in the low sixes for a stick, not sure about the auto. About the same as a CL-S. Good race though.
I've had friends race me in there lightly moded supra turbos(400 rwhp). You would think since I have 590 rwhp the race wouldn't even be close but if they get the jump it can be close if we take it only to 60mph. After that or on the freeway when the turbo has full boost it isn't even close. The only close race I've had is a guy with a 550 HP skyline. This was during a huge sports car meet with vipers, vettes, supras, ferrari, and all sorts of high power sports cars. We let the cars in front of us get about 1/4 mile jump before we punched it. By the end of the strech we were running about 170 and still pulling hard. I barely pulled on him but we started to catch the cars in front of us fast. Getting up there to 170 was easy, but to my shock stoping was the scary part.
